In a previous study, we identified CYP5035S7 of the white-rot fungus Polyporus arcularius with a broad activity towards monoterpenes such as p-cymene. Therefore, in this study we aimed at further exploring the substrate scope of detoxifying CYP5035S7 towards terpenes and semi-preparatively isolating some of the products via whole-cell biotransformation, in order to obtain information about the enzyme's reactivity. We noticed a clear preference for the monoterpene skeleton and elucidated a distinct regioselectivity pattern based on key structural and electronic features of its substrates. This study illustrates how minimal characterisation effort may already suffice to provide vital information on enzymatic reactivity by the comparison of structural derivatives.

Functionalisation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their -heteroarene analogues (NPAHs) is a tedious synthetic endeavour that requires diverse bottom-up approaches. Cytochrome P450 enzymes of white-rot fungi were shown to participate in the fungal detoxification of xenobiotics and environmental hazards via hydroxylation of PAH compounds. In this paper, the recently discovered activity of the monooxygenase CYP5035S7 towards (N)PAHs was investigated in detail, and products formed from the substrates azulene, acenaphthene, fluorene, anthracene, and phenanthrene by whole-cell biocatalysis were isolated and characterised.

Bioprospecting for innovative basidiomycete cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) is highly desirable due to the fungi's enormous enzymatic repertoire and outstanding ability to degrade lignin and detoxify various xenobiotics. While fungal metagenomics is progressing rapidly, the biocatalytic potential of the majority of these annotated P450 sequences usually remains concealed, although functional profiling identified several P450 families with versatile substrate scopes towards various natural products. Functional knowledge about the CYP5035 family, for example, is largely insufficient.
